The @FTC, under @linakhanFTC, is not afraid to stand up for consumers! Today, they sued Adobe for deceiving consumers into paying hundreds of dollars in early termination fees. Yet another example of the Biden Administration protecting your wallet.

🎉 The @FCC restored #NetNeutrality! This pro-consumer win delivers on the promise of a free, open, and democratic internet. No longer can providers slow content and raise prices on our internet access. Access to a free and open internet isn't a privilege, it's a right.

The reinstatement of Trump's accounts shows that there is no low Mark Zuckerberg will not stoop to in order to reverse Meta's cratering revenue and stagnant consumer growth, even if it means damaging our democracy.

Meta plans to reinstate Donald Trump's Facebook and Instagram accounts in the coming weeks with “new guardrails to deter repeat offenses”, after a two-year ban

- “We've always believed that Americans should be able to hear from the people who want to lead the country,” Clegg told Axios.

After years of broken of promises, I unfortunately do not expect this time to be any different. The Capitol community is still picking up the pieces from the January 6th insurrection that Trump ignited, and now he is returning to the virtual scene of the crime.

This is a dangerous decision. Reinstating former President Trump's Facebook and Instagram accounts will only fan the flames of hatred and division that led to an insurrection. Meta has had ‘guardrails’ in place that have been repeatedly ignored for high-profile accounts. https://twitter.com/...

But kids' data—their whole online lives—shouldn't be available in the first place for tech companies and their advertisers to rifle through. Our children deserve strong privacy protections. Protections that safeguard them by default.

Why should Facebook be the decision maker? They should be liable for their negligence, without which the insurrection on January 6 couldn't have taken place. This is another distraction by Zuckerberg, Sandberg, Kaplan, Martin and Rosen.

The reported political ‘pause’ by @Citibank, @jpmorgan , and @Facebook is deeply offensive and worse than doing nothing. Instead of holding the guilty responsible, their decision to treat the guilty and innocent the same is the type of political calculus that led us here.
